I had the XA-25 with the Sonus Faber Elipsa SE's that I had at the time. I found the XA-25 to be very transparent but very fatiguing to listen to for longer periods. I added the Rumba 1.3 in an attempt to tame the Pass. It helped a lot, but ultimately not enough. I owned the Pass XA-30.8 with these speakers as well. It was much better than the XA-25. I wound up selling the Pass and Backert Labs and bought a Gryphon Diablo 120. It was far better. YMMV in your system.
Pass Labs XA25 + Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 - A Good Combination?
Hey Everyone,
Lately I have been looking at reviews of these two pieces of equipment and seems most of the review highly praise them.
I was wondering if these two together would be a good combo?
Anyone by chance have any experience with these two together?
If I were to get the XA25, I would first try it with my current integrated as acting a as pre-amp and see how that would go but perhaps eventually upgrade to the Backert Labs.
Of course, speakers make a huge difference also.
Currently have ML Motion 40's and am curious if that would have good synergy together.
Any feedback would be welcomed.
Thnx
